Chapter 127: The Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo
"During the Sui and Tang dynasties, a powerful country called Goguryeo rose, and its sphere of influence was probably in Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula, which seriously threatened the security of the Central Plains. Goguryeo cannot be regarded as a complete Goryeo civilization, and its origin should be the Haoqian and Buyeo tribes in Liaodong, which later made Pyongyang its capital and was gradually assimilated by the local people. Therefore, in "Lords", Goguryeo is barely divided into the civilization of the Goryeo region. ”
"It's not the first time that a Goryeo stick has recognized his ancestors. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Man, a descendant of the Yan Kingdom, led more than 1,000 subordinates into the Korean Peninsula and established the first recorded country in the region. The ancestors of Goryeo include the Central Plains, Buyeo, and Samhan, and due to the lack of records, they don't know who their ancestors were, so be considerate of them. ”
After the rise of Goguryeo, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty felt threatened, and failed to conquer Goguryeo three or four times in a row, and a large number of Sui troops were captured by Goguryeo and became slaves. Later, the Tang Dynasty repeatedly crusaded against Goguryeo, and finally destroyed Goguryeo and rescued some of the captured Sui troops. ”
"The Battle of Anshi City was a battle of the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo."
"This time we are helping the Tang Army, and the commander of the Tang Army is none other than Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."
Old Qin knew a lot about the battle of Anshi City.
The lords and guild leaders present were somewhat shocked when they heard this name.
Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestor!
This time it was Tang Taizong Li Shimin who commanded the battle of Anshi City!
"In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong took Li Shiyun as the general manager of the Liaodong Provincial March, and led an army of 60,000 and the Hu people who surrendered from Lan and Hezhou to Liaodong. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty drove his own expedition and successively recovered Liaodong City and Baiyan City, and was finally blocked by Anshi City. The defenders of Anshi City resisted to the death, and it was September, the cold winter was coming, and the food was running out, so Li Shimin ordered the class. ”
"Afterwards, Li Shimin expressed regret, and constantly sent troops to harass Goguryeo, destroying its economy, and finally successfully destroyed Goguryeo during the reign of Tang Gaozong Li."
Originally, the Tang Dynasty had the advantage and was in the initiative, but there was a folk saying in Goryeo that in the battle of Anshi City, the city lord Yang Wanchun blinded Li Shimin's eyes with an arrow, making Li Shimin a one-eyed dragon, and Li Shimin retreated in a hurry. Therefore, there are also many anti-Tang dramas. ”
Lao Qin continued to explain the background.
Chutian also knew that the Goryeo stick believed that Li Shimin was shot blind in the battle of Anshi City, but in fact it was nonsense.
There is no such record in the history books of the country at all, and the Goryeo stick is considered to be real. With the identity of Emperor Li Shimin at that time, and Li Shimin was past the prime of life, he would not personally participate in the siege of the city at all, and his generals would not allow him to do so.
This is also one of the reasons why Chutian participated in the battle of Anshi City.
Let the stick know what the real battle of Anshi Castle is.
Mingguan raised his hand: "In "Lord", there shouldn't be such a nonsense statement that Li Shimin was shot blind, right?" ”
Old Qin nodded: "Our Eastern Han District is more influential, and it is impossible to adopt this statement." However, it is true that the Tang army did not recover Anseong at that time, and the condition of our victory in the battle of Anseong was likely to assist the Tang army in conquering Anseong, while the victory condition of Goryeo was probably to try to hold Anseong. Anshi Castle is our territory, so we must recover it. ”
At this point, all the lords already knew the goal of the battle of Anshi Castle.
In short, it was a siege battle that assisted the Tang army in capturing the city of Anshi in three months.
A map of the Battle of Anshi Castle is spread, a map drawn by players familiar with ancient history.
"First of all, the military strength of the Tang army, the Tang army in Liaodong has about 60,000 people, and after ten times more, it will be 600,000. The Tang army besieging Anshi City was about 40,000, and ten times later it would be 400,000. ”
"The commanders of the Tang army are Tang Taizong Li Shimin, British Duke Li Shixian, as well as Jiangxia King Li Daozong, eldest grandson Wuji, Xue Rengui, Qibi He Li, Ashina Sheer......"
Chu Tian heard the list of Tang Jun's top leaders and showed an expression of disbelief.
This lineup is simply extravagant, and it is even more exaggerated than the current lineup of generals in Xia Cheng. More importantly, 400,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty besieged Anshi City!
Theoretically speaking, except for Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, it is possible for each lord to recruit the above-mentioned generals.
"I boldly speculate that this time I am the first in battle, and it is possible to obtain one of Li Shimin's characteristics."
Lao Qin's speculation once again made the lords' blood boil.
One of the characteristics of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how exaggerated it will be.
Lao Qin looked at Chu Tian: "Farming, in the last epic battle, you should have obtained a Lu Zhi or Huangfu Song trait, am I right?" ”
Chu Tian couldn't deny it.
It was only later that he learned that one of the rewards for winning first place in every epic battle was a trait of his faction's commander.
This time the commander of the camp was none other than Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
As the emperor, Li Shimin's characteristics are estimated to make countless people blush.
Li Shimin may have several traits, and it is better to get one at random.
"What is the military strength of Goguryeo?"
After knowing the strength of the Tang army, Liu An, the lord of Yizhou, asked about the military strength of Goguryeo, after all, few people knew about the battle of Anshicheng.
"The number of defenders of Anshi City is unknown, the city lord of Anshi City is a very talented person, Tang Taizong appreciated his perseverance and loyalty, and gave the city lord of Anshi a hundred horses. His name is not recorded in history, but it is likely to be named Yang Wanchun, who should be a defensive general of the archer department. ”
"The reinforcements of Goguryeo were 150,000 Goguryeo and Jin soldiers led by the northern tribal chieftains Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen. Ten times that is 1.5 million. ”
"It seems that the number is a bit scary, but compared to the Tang army, they are a rabble."
"The most difficult thing is not the Goguryeo reinforcements, but the holding of Anshi Fortress and the tight time. Within three months, it is necessary to break through the reinforcements at the same time and capture the city of Anshi. Historically, Li Shimin managed to defeat the reinforcements, but in the end he was defeated by the coming winter. ”
"The lords of Goryeo will definitely try to maintain the course of history and fully assist the lord of Anshi Castle in defending Anshi Castle. They are at an advantage because they only need to hold for three months. Three months later, they were declared victorious. ”
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
They must battle their wits with the lords of Goryeo to change the outcome of the battle of Anseongseong.
"The battlefield can be huge, and it's impossible for us to all the lords and guilds to act together. Therefore, it is divided into ten legions, and the top ten lords are each commanding a legion, and each legion includes ten lords and ten guilds, with a total of 25,000 people. ”
"Let's divide it down."
Lao Qin had obviously envisaged the arrangements for the battle of Anshi City, and for his arrangement, Chu Tian's group was also convinced.
Chu Tian got a list in his hand, his second legion had ten lords and ten guilds under his jurisdiction, and after Chu Tian's request, Prince Yan, the lord of Liaoxi, and Xue Yue of the Langya Wolf Guild joined the second legion led by him.
